Preview – EDC (Every Day Carry)

Every day carry (EDC) is a mindset about being prepared for the monkey wrenches that life may throw your way, and having the tools on you to deal with them. This can be as basic as having a good pen to write down that hottie’s number you’ve been checking out all night, to having ninja throwing stars to defend yourself with when her significant other comes chasing after you. All joking aside, being prepared for the unexpected with more than your wallet, mobile phone, and keys on your person is something anyone can benefit from.

Function trumps form here, but there’s no reason you can’t go with something with a little bit of style.
